Specification of Letters Patent.

' Application filed May 25, 1915. Serial No. 30,441.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER J AsiNsKI, a subject' of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Welland, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in safes.

An object of the present invention is to provide a safe embodying a housing structure having front hinged door sections with.

nating corresponding parts throughout'the several views Figure 1 is a perspective view of the safe in closed position. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross sectional view of the same, illustrating partly in section the inner receptacle, and showing in full and dotted lines the locking arm for the outer receptacle. Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse sectional view of a portion of the safe, and Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view of the safe showing the outer receptacle doors in opened position and artly broken away.

Briefly described, the present invention aims to provide a safe that is extremely simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture and one which will provide efficient means for the safe keeping of suitable articles.

The present invention includes two receptacles, one within the other so that when the outer receptacle is locked entrance to the in ner receptacle is prevented.

I do not wish to limit myself to the par-- ticular material from which the safe can be made, but as shown the same is constructed of sheet metal including spaced walls, in

which space suitable non-heat conducting material or other packing material may be placed.

Referring more in-detail to the accompanying drawings, the reference numeral 10 designates the base of the outer receptacle which carries a rear wall 11 and the end walls 12, the end walls terminating midway the ends of the base 10, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 5. The rear wall 11 and end walls 12 are preferably formed of spaced plates as shown to provide an air space between the same for the reception of any suit able packing material as desired. The plates constituting the walls 11- and 12 are held spaced apart .by the members 13 to prevent the walls from collapsing.

The front corners of the base 10 support vertical posts 14 and these posts together with the end Walls 12 and rear wall 11 constitute a support for the cover 15, which cover 18 constructed similar to the said walls. The closure doors for the outer receptacle are formed of hinged members ineluding end portions 16 and front portions 17, these portions being of double walled construction and being held spaced apart by spacing members 13, the front portions 17 of the closure members being hinged as at 18- to the end portion thereof.

The end port1ons 16, are hinged as at 19 to the forward ends of the end walls 12 of the outer receptacle and these end portions constitute the remaining portions of the end walls of the outer receptacle, while the forward portions 17 meet centrally of the outer receptacle as clearly indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. A bracket shelf 20 is carried by one of the end portions 16 of the closure member and may constitute a writing support or bracket for supporting suitable articles.

The locking mechanism for the outer receptacle consists of a U-shaped arm 21 hinged at its ends as-at 22 to the rearupper ends of the end walls 12 and this arm isadapted to swing on its pivots to. an elevated position to free the forward closed portion thereof from the swinging closure members to substantially dotted line position shown in Fig. 3 so that the closure members may swing on their pivots 18 and 19 to permit access to the inner receptacle. Any suitable form of locking means as indicated at 23 may be pro- Patented Jan. 18, 1916.

of the base 1 0 is provided with a pan of spaced guide bars 24 between which is slid the inner receptacle 2,5. The inner receptacle is adapted to contain the articles Provided for safe keeping and-preferably consists of the lower sliding drawer section 26 and the upper section 27 closed by hinged doors 28. The upper section 27 of the inner receptacle may be provided with any suitable number of shelves or other compartments for the reception of any articles. Hand-hold devices or hooks 29 are secured to the end walls of the inner receptacle 25 and constitute means by which the same may be removed from the outer receptacle and these devices may be also used as supportmg members for preferred articles.

The above description of the present in vention ofi'ers a clear understanding of the-- same and many changes in the details of construction may be had without departing from the spirit and scope of the present mvention as claimed and which will fall within the 11%ht8 of the present applicant.

What claim as new is A safe including a receptacle having fixed top and bottom walls, a rear wall, end walls extending approximately half the depth of the bottom and .top walls, front closure edges of the front closure walls locln'ng the same In closed position.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
